Tashawak was most progressive as a juvenile and handles fast conditions particularly well. John Dunlop's charge looks capable of further progress so should go well despite top weight on his belated seasonal reappearance. Purple Haze has her share of temperament but has done nothing wrong to win her last two starts and another bold display from this front runner can be expected while Miss Pinkerton is 4lb better of having finished second, beaten a length and a quarter, behind Purple Haze at Leicester late last month and has chances of reversing the form.
